Tobias would seem just as intrigued by Yloise as she found him, albeit perhaps for more than just physical reasons. He still had to figure out if she was involved with the theft, but the Hyur did take notice of her youthful features. He takes a moment to silently admire her sylphlike build and smooth unmarred skin. Despite her prettiness and qualities, what took his attention most was the shoulder bag.
       After Tobias' once over of the woman, he kept his gaze on her eyes to catch any reflection of something that might give her away of being the culprit, though, every so often he would take a quick glance down at her lips, especially when that blushing smile of hers came.
       "But that is a novices way of cutting corners, as to speak." Yloise said with a giggle. Her joke was not lost on Tobias, with a smile and half-chuckle that displaces an air of amiableness about him. Despite near obsidian colored eyes, they shine with presence and curiosity.
       "Opal? An interesting choice. A ranged stone in terms of quality, color, and pattern," he gives pause to fold his arms over his chest with a tilt of his head as if musing over a thought while his eyes sweep over her again, "adorned with an opal, teardrop cut, that holds the reflection of various facets of green would be quite a...dazzling sight." Tobias' eyes lock back onto Yloise after he states his opinion. He then speaks more an audible statement to himself than an actual question, "The only question is, where I would place it on you..." Another wisp of a smile that could not be seen as flirty but also more than just a friendly gesture. His posture still erect and his form entirely at ease.
       Tobias gives a casual shrug to his own thoughts before the next bit of 'push' towards his investigation, "The play of colors is what I find most intriguing. Quite the gem, the opal. It can," his eyes faintly and only momentarily squint as he peers at her, "hide qualities that people may never...suspect. Aye?"
